Visionary, disrupter, boundary-breaker. All these terms have been applied to today’s guest, virtuoso pianist, conductor, and composer Conrad Tao. Though he carried the title of prodigy for years, Conrad has emerged as one of the most singular artists in classical music today. Ahead of his eighth appearance with the Utah Symphony, and his first leading an entire Masterworks program, Conrad joined us for a conversation about the path that brought him here, and what lies ahead. Watch Conrad and Caleb’s NPR Tiny Desk Concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61q6JoGLTc0 Experience his artistry and compositional voice in “iridescence for piano and iPad,” from his 2013 debut album “Voyages.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5C5fLhjWdY Visit www.usuo.org for information on upcoming concerts and performances at our venues across Utah.
